Family policies, including but not limited to the expansion of formal childcare, are often introduced to facilitate the combination of family care responsibilities and paid labour market participation. While a few studies do not yield evidence of a causal relationship, a large body of literature agrees on the relationship between childcare and maternal employment. Thus, this thesis analyses the ef
A look into what makes a community resilient and what kind of tools can be applied to develop one.
Bakgrund: Mer än hälften av alla autistiska studenter lyckas inte fullfölja sin utbildning i högre studier. Trots detta finns det få studier som undersöker vad som påverkar studenternas möjligheter att genomföra sin utbildning. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva erfarenheter av delaktighet vid studier på högskola och universitet för studenter med autismspektrumtillstånd. Metod: Kvalitativ
Can climate signals help investors make sharper moves in volatile commodity markets? This study explores how weather-related risk, specifically the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), can be used to improve portfolio performance. We incorporate the Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) into a Random Forest forecasting model to capture the complex, non-linear effects of climate anomalies on commodity returns -
The intended purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between CEO compensation and long-term firm performance within the American banking sector. Restricted stock awards as a proportion of total calculated compensation (RSA%) are used to measure the degree of equity compensation, while return on equity (ROE) and net interest margin (NIM) act as proxies for firm performance. The ded
This research examines adult consumers’ inclination towards beauty brands in connection to the phenomenon; “Sephora Kids.” Focusing on consumers' ethical considerations, this research investigates whether child-targeted marketing influences beauty consumers’ inclination toward these beauty brands.
Artificial intelligence (AI) development thrives on global datasets, yet every outbound transfer of EU personal data must now satisfy two demanding regimes; the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA). The GDPR lets exporters rely on Adequacy Decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other Article 44-49 tools only if they can guarantee an “essentia

Food waste represents major economic, social and sustainable challenges across the European Union, particularly within fresh fruit and vegetables (FFV). This study aims to quantify the amount of fresh food waste generated post-harvest for five FFV products i.e. avocados, bananas, cucumbers, eggplants and peppers (ABCEPs). This study will analyze and estimate the waste generated across 31 European
This thesis examines Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and financial inclusion, two factors suggested by the previous literature to potentially reduce women’s risk of IPV. For this purpose, data from a cross-sectional health survey on Burkinabe women aged 15 to 49 who were married or living with their intimate partner was analyzed. Results from a multilevel logistic regression ana
Bakgrund: Kulturhistoriska byggnader har ett särskilt historiskt, estetiskt eller socialt värde och skyddas av regler som begränsar förändringar. Med rätt byggnadsvård och tekiska lösningar kan bevarande kombineras med energieffektiviseringar. Även om bevarande ofta innebär högre initiala kostnader, kan det ge långsiktiga värden både kulturellt och ekonomiskt. Syfte: Syftet är ett undersöka hur kThroughout history, construction practices have reflected the materials, knowledge, and economic resources available at the time. These historical characteristics are now seen as cultural assets worth preserving. However, older buildings often fail to meet modern standards, necessitating significant interventions to comply with today’s regulations. This thesis explores the challenges and opportun
Measurements of vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) is an important factor to consider in gait analysis and is often used in clinical studies. Traditionally, these measurements are often done using force plate sensors embedded in the ground. Recent advancements in the field have made it possible to conduct these studies using treadmills with similar embedded sensors, systems consisting of either
This thesis investigates the relationship between automation and deindustrialisation in the context of Brazil, a developing country experiencing significant structural economic changes. While automation is often associated with productivity growth and economic advancement, its implications for employment, particularly in emerging economies, remain contested. Drawing on the Lewis 2.0 framework and
With the rapid diffusion of short video social media, a wave of rural influencers has emerged on China’s TikTok (Douyin), using short-form content to build personal brands and engage in sociocultural expression. Anchored in practice theory (Shove et al., 2012), this study adopts the “material–competence–meaning” triadic model to examine how these rural creators strategically construct personal bra
Oil spills are known to cause severe ecological damage, yet the long-term effects on benthic organ-isms are still not fully understood. This study investigates how blue mussels (Mytilus edulis trossulus) were affected by the 2023 oil spill caused by the grounding of the passenger ferry Marco Polo in the Hanö bay, southern Sweden. Here I compare mussels collected from four oil-contaminated sites wi
This study investigates the relationship between the use of pesticides within Ängelholm Municipality’s largest water protection area and the levels of these substances in the drink-ing water. With a growing population and modern lifestyle, society has developed a de-pendency on continuous food production, which in turn has led to increased use of pesti-cides to ensure stable harvesters. This can h
